    The year was 1969 and there was all this talk in the news about a music festival that was going to be happening on a dairy farm in Sullivan County. Max Yasgur was going to be opening up his quiet dairy farm for what many were already calling one of the greatest festivals to ever be thrown. Not only was this festival the most ambitious to date, this was a weekend that would change the state of music and define a generation. This would be known as “Woodstock.” An Aquarian exposition of three days of peace, love and music. The festival was scheduled for August 15th-August 17th. However, the party would not end and continued going until the 18th. The original estimates said that 400,000 people would be there.

There’s no need to worry, Daddy.” I kissed my father and went into my room to prepare for the festival. I was so excited and Flower and her brother would be picking me up shortly. I packed a bag of some of the clothes I was going to be bringing. I made sure to bring my denim bell bottoms, denim shorts, gauzy tops, and my sandals. I was planning to go topless when we got there, but was not going to be sharing that information with my parents. I also brought a blanket and anything else I thought I would need when we were there. We would be camping out the entire time. I was so excited! I walked downstairs to say goodbye to my parents as I heard Jay honking his horn in the driveway. “Goodbye, see you guys in a few days!" “Here’s some money for you. Please take care of yourself. Don’t do anything that would worry your father and me.” I kissed my mother and my father and ran out of the house.
